Acetylation is a chemical reaction in which a hydrogen atom is substituted for an acetyl group (CH₃C=O group) in a compound. The products formed in acetylation reactions typically have an acetoxy functional group. When the hydrogen atom belonging to an alcohol group replaced with an acetyl group in an acetylation reaction, an ester is formed as the product. For such reactions (where the reactant compound contains free hydroxyl groups), the most commonly used acetylating agent is acetic anhydride.
